[QUOTE="SoonToBeTrainee, post: 222455, member: 32830"] What's the etiquette for incoming vacation schemes on the work experience section? Do applicants generally put 'incoming vacation scheme at X firm' in their work experience section? Should I; A) Not include the incoming scheme (as I haven't completed it yet + don't want Y firm to think I prefer X firm, or that I'm more likely to receive/accept a TC at X firm first). B) Only include the incoming scheme for firms which are very similar to X firm (e.g. they operate in the same key sectors). C) Include the incoming scheme when applying to all firms. I'm conscious that for non-CV firms, putting in a blank entry on Candid for an 'incoming scheme' might also seem odd. However, I also recognise just how beneficial it is to have a VS under your belt, and that other law firms might see this incoming VS and think I am a competitive applicant. (Equally they might hate it for reasons outlined above). Any help will be much appreciated! [USER=42112]@Abbie Whitlock[/USER] eager to hear your thoughts too :) [/QUOTE]
